Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]
In mathematics, divided differences is an algorithm, historically used for computing tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions. [citation needed] Charles Babbage's difference engine, an early mechanical calculator, was designed to use this algorithm in its operation.
Note that the intermediate points that were constructed are in fact the control points for two new Bézier curves, both exactly coincident with the old one. This algorithm not only evaluates the curve at , but splits the curve into two pieces at , and provides the equations of the two sub-curves in Bézier form.
The next step is to multiply the above value by the step size , which we take equal to one here: = = Since the step size is the change in , when we multiply the step size and the slope of the tangent, we get a change in value.
s −2 = 1, t −2 = 0 s −1 = 0, t −1 = 1. Using this recursion, Bézout's integers s and t are given by s = s N and t = t N, where N + 1 is the step on which the algorithm terminates with r N+1 = 0. The validity of this approach can be shown by induction. Assume that the recursion formula is correct up to step k − 1 of the algorithm; in ...
In mathematics the division polynomials provide a way to calculate multiples of points on elliptic curves and to study the fields generated by torsion points. They play a central role in the study of counting points on elliptic curves in Schoof's algorithm .
Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.
Four points P 0, P 1, P 2 and P 3 in the plane or in higher-dimensional space define a cubic Bézier curve. The curve starts at P 0 going toward P 1 and arrives at P 3 coming from the direction of P 2. Usually, it will not pass through P 1 or P 2; these points are only there to provide directional information.
